amended as to authorize the Secretary
of the Treasury to issue certificates
against the coinage value OF the
bu'lion bought. and to coin only such
number Of dollars as he may deem
rxpedient hereafter. There sh'rl
always he in the Treasury enough
silver besides that held against the
standing certificates to enable the
government to ut once supply any
demand on it by the people, but all
held in the Treasury in the excess OF
that amount is not absolutely neces-
sary for any purpose and is in fact, "A
menace to the silver which the people
hold, and also to the United States
notes and national bank notes and to
the whole circulating medium, ex-
cept gold.
PLANS FOR PREVENTION.
:, The accumulation can be prevented
by fixing the amount of SUI h reserve
and providins that when it is exceeded
by $4,000 the purchase OF bullion
shall cease until the amount held by
the Government again equals such
reserve. Another plan would be to
provide that whenever the reserve
was exceeded, an amount OF United
States no es equal in value TO such ex-
cess should he Cancelled, il enough OF
them were in the Treasu Y, but If not,
then the purchase Of bullion should
cease until the maximum reserve
should be reached. Neither of these
plans, if adopted, would diminish the
actual or potential use Of silver as cur
rency by the dollar, but, in my judg-
ment, it would he promoted thereby"
The balance OF the report is taken
up With reports OF customs, revenue,
marine, emigration and coast surveys,

an indictment for forgery against

Says: ut is evident that the force OF

sufficient to attack formidable military
powers. The force is too small for
war and too large for peace. We
must wait and see how Russia will
reconcile the massing with the pacific
assurances OF the Journal de ST. Pc
tersbarg."
The Moscow Gazette says: "The
future policy Of France will decide
whether Germany will be compelled
to watch one on both OF her frontiers"
and the paper$ declares that Russia
must always have strong fleet in the
Pacific ocean.

SAYS. One of the most interesting
facts shown by the foregoing state

standard silver dollars owned by the
government, and the increased use of
the same money by people in the

evident that the future use of silver

Situation.
PLEAS FOR SAN PEDRO BAY.

San Francisco as Regards

Associated Press Dispatches to the HEgALp.,

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
SAN FRANCISCO, December Col
onel Mendell having made the pre-
liminary examination required in Sec
ton 6, River and Harbor Act of Aug
ut 3, 1886, recommends to the Chief
Engineer OF the United States navy
at Washington, survey OF San Pedro
bay, substantially as follows: Speak
ing Of the harbors OF the California
coast, he states that it is well known
that there are only two harbors for
leep 'ea vessels, IAN Fra ncisco and
San Diego, the distance betw cen them
being 600 miles. San Pedro bay is the
hest, the most known roadstead and
the only one with foreign commerce,
the imports being mainly coal and
lie exports wheat. During the year
1885 and 1886, about s6l 800 duties
acre collected at the Wilmington GUS
tom house.
RAILROAD ACCOMMODATION.
The Southern Paci Railroad sys-
tenn coming rom the East first touches
The Pacific Coast at San Pedro, a much
shorter and easier line of overland
transportation for Asiatic commerce
than San Francisco. The loading and
departing of deep water sl,i IS is now
effected through the latter by carrying
The freight for two or three miles be-
tween the shore and the vessels at an
chorage. This commerce is taxed by
The cost OF trans-shipment and the de-
Law imposed upon vessels and it is
therefore not probable that As attic
commerce could take this route until
the s Ups can lie and discharge along
-ide OF the piers. Heretofore San
francisco alone has received the
A-iatic trade. Now the Canadian Pa
cific is already operating and the
Northern Pacific is in course of extern
sion to Puget Sound. There is prom
ise OF two competitors for the over
land transportation of Asiatic COM
merce betw cen San Francisco and Los
angeles. Two considerable noun
tain elevations have to he crosse and
the distance is about 80, miles. It
would appear that San Pedro's adj
vantage over San Francisco in over
land competition is something like
500 miles.
